Ever since we adopted our cat, she always has peed on the edge of the litterbox. This was ongoing for 6 years. On a whim, I bought finer litter and she stopped this behaviour immediately. Just thought I’d share.

Cats don’t like their tails touching anything when they go. So if you have an enclosed litterbox where the only way cat doesn’t feel like their ass is confined and touching stuff, they’ll stick it out the door. So you can try taking the lid off, or try taping a washcloth over the opening blocking 1/2 of the top so that the cat butt will touch that in hopes that this is more disagreeable than just being all the way in the box.
We tried taking the lid off but she would do the exact same thing, so that didn’t work unfortunately. And we already got the biggest litterbox we could find. If the finer litter doesn’t work I’ll try the washcloth though.
Is it in a corner? Ours was wedged in between toilet, sink, and wall. So cat decided to hang her butt out the front beacuse 3 sides had inconvenieces.
Either way, good luck. Cat toilet issues suck.
